Information only

Kominka Atlas provides general information to help you research vacant houses (akiya) and traditional houses (kominka) in Japan. It is not real-estate brokerage, legal, tax, immigration, or investment advice. We do not mediate property transactions. Before making any purchase, residency, tax, or financial decision, consult the appropriate licensed professional (a registered real-estate agent, a shiho shoshi judicial scrivener, a licensed tax accountant, or an immigration lawyer).

Accuracy and timeliness

We compile information from official public sources and attribute each one. Even so:

• Prices shown are median actual transaction figures for an area, not valuations of any specific property.
• Hazard results are assessed at an area representative point. They do not tell you the risk at a specific address. Always check the exact property on the official municipal hazard map and the national Kasaneru Hazard Map.
• Climate figures are official normals from the nearest weather station, which may be some distance from a given property.
• Subsidy amounts, eligibility and application windows change every year. Always confirm current details on the municipality’s official page before relying on them.
• Counts of cultural and natural sites are indicative; coverage varies.

Platform rules, laws and market conditions change. We do not guarantee that any information here is current or complete, and we accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of it.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate or referral links. If you sign up for or purchase a service through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never changes what we report; our area data comes from official sources, not from advertisers. Sponsored or affiliate content is marked “PR”.

Your responsibility

Any action you take based on this site is your own responsibility. Where important, verify the underlying official source and seek qualified professional advice.
